Come again on my Birthday!

We had a really great Christmas Vacation. First, I got to go home for five days and see my family. It was really fun doing Christmas things with them, since I haven't really been able to since we moved here. We usually go up after Christmas.

Then, Josh's family came down to Arizona for Christmas and then a bunch of the Brady's came after Christmas for their niece/grandaughter/cousin's wedding. It was like a really long party that just kept going and going. So fun! And my work computer crashed so I wasn't able to work. The. Whole. Time. (Well, almost.) Bummer. I was pretty broken up about it. The only really sad part was I was so exhausted from not sleeping enough and having a really bad headache that I fell asleep on New Years Eve at 10:30. My poor husband didn't have anyone to kiss at Midnight. I think he tried to wake me up for it, but I am kind of grumpy when I sleep.

So anyway, my house is being built super fast, which is good in some ways; like in the way that I will be able to live in the same city as my husband. But it's also not so good in other ways; like in the way I haven't really packed and we really need to sell the house in Ajo and it doesn't seem like I am getting anything done to further either one of those things. But I'm sure everything will work out okay in the end. Anyway, here is a few shots of the process. It's all very exciting!

Oooo, your new house is going to be so awesome! Way fun! And sounds like you had a fun/busy holiday... yay! :)

Wow! How exciting. I love a new house. I bet you are going to LOVE it. Have you planned out all the decor or are you buying any fun new furniture? My mom said you were at church in Thatcher a few weeks back. Too bad I was there a couple weeks later. It's always an adventure visiting TP2. Ha ha. Anywho...glad to see the progress on your new crib. Have a good one.

Wow. What a view! Your house is going to be beautiful. Glad that you all had a great time together over Christmas. We missed being with everyone! By the way, is that a Robin Hood quote as your post title? :)

Michelle,
It is a Robin Hood quote! I'm impressed anyone besides my siblings would know it. That was our favorite when we were little and my sisters say it to each other all the time. We missed you at the Bryce's.

holy smokes, what a beautiful house! It sounds like you had a really nice trip for Christmas! That's the best part of the season-hanging with the family (oh, and eating is right up there too...)

I love that little bunny on Robin Hood! Your house is going to be amazing! Guess what? I girl in my ward graduated with you, but I don't know her maiden name, I will have to ask her. Small world!
